Young Guamanians in Guam and the U.S have taken interest in building the sakman or the "flying proa". The sakman is a 40-foot sailing canoe. The sakman is an outrigger canoe that Chamorro natives used to build many centuries ago. Due to tragic events in Chamorro history, the art of building such a canoe and the associated art of way finding (navigating without instruments) have all but vanished. In the past few years there has been a re-awakening of these arts in Micronesia and Polynesia. Recently there has been a renewed interest in the Chamorro in Guam, Saipan, and here in the U.S to build the sakman once again. And this is one mission Guamanians hope to achieve.By Laiali, Gr. 7 Guam is a beautiful US island territory in the Pacific that has a big Nazy base. Because of the Nazy connection, there is a large amount of Guamanian population here in San Diego.The Guam Club can teach you all about your cultures and  languages. Lydia, Gr. 8
